New Fan Fic Chapter Is Up!

Thanks to everyone who read the last installment of my fan fic, Distilling Down. I'm pleased to announce that the new chapter is up! I've started getting a few reviews and I love every single person who reads. Hard. You make my day.

Here's a quick recap, and then a teaser from this chapter. In the prologue and the first chapter, we've met Bella, who is hiding out from everyone chasing after her. Unfortunately, that includes Edward. What's going on in his world while she hides from him?

Chicago, Alice's POV:

Our pictures hung in a scattered array, showcasing our lives since we’d come to America. There were dozens of Jasper and I, from our courtship, our wedding, and our trips together. Dozens of happy moments were on display, but Edward had eyes for only one photo: Bella at the lakeshore. She had been notoriously camera shy as a human, so we’d never had many of her. Between the labs and houses that had been bombed and burned over the years, his personal collection had been winnowed down to just a few lingering snapshots. He’d lost the other when she’d stolen his jacket on her way out the door again two years ago, so now this one on our wall was all he had.

Well, that and his not-so-little obsession with her current whereabouts.

"Edward . . . " I said to him softly, putting one hand tentatively on his shoulder. "She’ll turn up when it’s time and not a minute before."

"How can she run from me? How can she hide?" His voice was pure agony, bottled, aged well, and decanted.

"Edward, you know she’s not herself right now." I left out the part about him chasing her around shooting at her as potential motivation for wanting to hide out. He killed himself enough over that as it was.

Rob Pattinson Makes Me Need A Vanity Fair Subscription

Seriously! I would subscribe to this, just for the December issue of Vanity Fair, which features photos of Rob Pattinson done by photographer Bruce Weber. The photos go with a feature profile by Evgenia Peretz that talks Twilight, Kristen Stewart, and fame . . . and being Robert Pattinson, of course.

I'd subscribe for a piece of the hotness

The photoshoot outtakes are in a beautiful slide show on the Vanity Fair website, but here are a few of my favorites for your viewing pleasure.

Where was this when they were making Poughkeepsie banners?



Why yes, I would like to borrow that cigarette:

And finally, before I just post the whole damn Vanity Fair Photoshoot of Rob Pattinson:

Yes, I want to be that sweater:

Xavier Samuel as Riley Biers

David Slade has another hot vampire hook up for today, in the form of Xavier Samuel in character as vampire Riley Biers. Apparently in addition to an expanded role, he's been gifted with a last name. Which is just fine. If one of these vampire types becomes the later father of my children, it's important for them to have a last name, you know?

The Complete Howling at New Moon

For the Wolf Pack lovers out there . . . as long as we're talking Halloween specials, here's the complete recast of the MTV Howling at New Moon program.

Holy Hotness Batman! It's Kellan Lutz.

Ask, and ye shall receive.

Here I was crabbing about the lack of all things vampire sexy in existence, and lo and behold . . . the vamp side of the house has stepped up to the plate.

Kellan Lutz as Batman

Have I mentioned how much I love this man? No? Well, I certainly have catapulted him to the top of my favorite people list again today! I spent my Halloween at a class reunion, but I am thinking a Vegas adventure with Kellan would have been just as awesome. Okay, much more awesome . . . I'm drooling just thinking about it, and I've definitely got the Batman theme song stuck in my head.
